Despite being open for the world to see, our social media world is usually the last line of secrecy when it comes to our relationships.

Our direct messages past and present, Facebook chats and Instagram history are securely - for now - ours. Yet a new survey on the '50 secrets to a happy marriage' has revealed that sharing your social media passwords with your loved one is a key way to find peace and security in a relationship. So, how do you feel about sharing your social media world?

Would you let your other half in on your log-ins?

One of the problems with dating apps like Tinder and Hinge (we say one, because there’s plenty) is a lack of accountability – a lot of people simply use it as a hook up site and poof they’re gone, never to be seen again.

Simply put it's just too easy to be a complete jerk and continue to get away with it.
So what do we do about it? Well in an attempt to eliminate the bad apples from online dating there is a new dating app on the scene which allows users to leave reviews.

The Grade, launched last year aims to provide a dating service ‘creep’ free, and therefore more women friendly – their words not ours.
















 While this idea might make sense, it still comes with its own set of concerns. But all these boil down to one main question: how do you stop falsely negative review, mistaken identity, horrid comments and those exes? How do you stop people from trashing someone they have a grudge against?

To get around this The Grade won’t allow any freeform text and instead will ask questions like, “Is this a ‘quality’ person?" That's it.













The thinking is that combing through a dating app to leave one bad “yes/no” user review on your ex doesn’t seem particularly fun, even for the most vindictive among us!

The Grade then takes the sum of all these “yes/no” answers and gives your profile a grade.
So far we’re told 85% of the reviews have been positive – but would you risk it?

Makers think, in some form, that this is the next logical step of dating apps. Someone has to deal with the fact that dating apps often devolve into an intensely hostile place for women, we were told.

What do you think - would you want people to be able to rate you as a date for all the world to see?

There are 3 times more people using online dating now than 3 years ago!

Despite online dating being the norm for many of us new research by Pew Research Center has revealed the amount of young adults looking for love online has tripled since 2013! Yes, 27% of young adults (18 to 24 years old) are now looking for love online compared to only 10% back in 2013.

Why? The increase has been due to how we live our lives and how we use our phones – for everything - according to the research.

Aaron Smith, from Pew Research Centre said, "The rapid growth we’ve seen in dating apps use speaks both to the changing nature of dating among younger folks today, and also the extent to which these apps are in many ways perfectly in line with the way that cohort interacts with the world."

What we think… Online dating is no longer the ‘big deal’ it once was or something to be frowned upon, in fact it’s pretty cute telling people you met online in our experience.

About 80% of people who responded to the study who have used online dating agree it's a good way to meet people, and 62% said it helps them find better dates because they can get to know more people before meeting in person.
